    Samsung Galaxy Alpha

    Here's a link to an article about rumours etc

    http://www.ibtimes.com/samsung-galax...coming-1651094

    My ideal specs:

    SnapDragon 805
    3GB 1866 RAM
    13 MP Camera with 4K recording and OIS
    4.7 Inch screen with small bezel
    1080p/720p screen (I'd happily trade resolution for battery life)
    2400+ mAh battery
    Metal construction

    If rumours are true, this could quite literally be the perfect smartphone. If it's a success (which I imagine it will be), I hope to god they don't slam a 5 inch screen in it like their S5. It's too big.

    Thoughts?

    It's way too expensive.

    With the estimated price, I agree. But that's just the RRP. Sony tried selling their Z for 530 GBP when it first launched. Wasn't look before it was down to 400 on Amazon.

    Re: Samsung Galaxy Alpha

    OnePlus one is a 5.5 inch screen. Too big for me, and I have larger than average hands. The Moto X is the perfect screen size for me. Just makes it small enough so I can reach every corner of the phone comfortably which makes the experience so much better.

    Plus, at the moment you can't even buy it without getting an invitation. I'd definitely try it out when you can buy it off the shelves but after having used a Note 2 and 3 before I think it's just going to be too big.

    I know you can't get the Alpha yet, if it's even a real phone but as soon as it's launched you'll be able to purchase it straight off the shelves. I know they're a small company (One Plus) but by the time I can buy one I'll have most likely forgotten about it.
